Issue Description:

The VisualC module should be possible to remove. If we can remove the dependency on the VisualC module, it will enable building against the pure WinSDK content, reducing the Windows dependencies from Visual Studio to just the WinSDK (specifically the C++ components).

The use of visualc comes in through https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/stdlib/public/Platform/msvcrt.swift#L14. We would need to remvoe that and fix any fallout from that, enabling the removal of that dependency.

The visualc module is no longer pulled in by CRT however it is still a dependency for UCRT as it depends on vcruntime.h.
